| Vetor | AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Xen versions 4.1.x through 4.3.x
Description
The issue is related to a use-after-free vulnerability in the
xc cpupool getinfo function. This vulnerability can be exploited by local users with access to management functions, potentially leading to a denial of service (heap corruption) and possibly allowing them to gain privileges via unspecified vectors. The vulnerability is triggered when using a multithreaded toolstack and the xc cpumap alloc function fails.Recommendations
For Xen versions 4.1.x through 4.3.x, consider restricting access to management functions to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the
xc cpupool getinfo function in multithreaded environments. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.DoS
